Welcome!

Welcome to Vanishing Landmarks, a website dedicated
to preserving the majestic Grain Elevator. Most particularly the
old wooden elevators that use to span across the provinces and
states and that were a staple of every community.

Vanishing Landmarks
was originally created by Don Lamont in 1999, who spent most of
that summer and following summers photographing grain elevators
around Saskatchewan. Unfortunatly he passed away in 2002, and before
his website went offline I managed to save most of the photographs
he enjoyed taking. I
myself had taken a few and had submitted them to his website.

With that, I give you a new Vanishing Landmarks website
that is a little more dynamic than Don's. As well, I am trying
to gather information on each elevator and publically display this
for educational purposes. As I catalog each elevator I welcome
anyone willing to help to do so. If you know any of this information,
please don't hesistate to submit it. If you happen to have photographs
of elevators I do not already have, then again, please submit them.

Your help is greatly appreciated and I hope you enjoy
the site. Comments are always welcome. If
you want to use this information for anything please contact me
for permission.
